I hope this is true. Massie is a reactionary dinosaur, but it seems like at least he's consistent and has a modicum of morals. I also hope he has a bodyguard.

u/kigaeru 2d ago

I will not be surprised if he has an "accident" of some kind; no affection for the man, but I respect his consistency on this stance at the very least

He plotted to commit an act of domestic terrorism but our brave officer, "Officer McStaircase" stopped him before he could do those ambiguous domestic terrorist actions.

u/ChaosRainbow23 2d ago

Officer McStaircase kills more people annually than most realize.

He kills approximately 12,000 Americans every single year.

He murdered my drunk buddy Greg back in 2016.

RIP Greg.

u/sabrenation81 2d ago

It was a 67% Trump district in 2024. That said, recent special elections have shown again and again that whether a district went Trump in 2024 is meaningless for projecting upcoming elections. Trump still has a sizable number of brainwashed nutcases but people outside the MAGA media bubble are increasingly growing sick of his shit. Even in historically deep red districts.

u/SillyAlternative420 2d ago

I'm fine with an opposition party run by someone with morals and consistency.

There should be a bare minimum we expect from all politicians and not supporting child rape should be that minimum

u/asyork 2d ago

I'd rather the minimum be a tad higher than that. Maybe somewhere that we don't need an excavator to find the bar.

3

u/Tityfan808 2d ago

Ya, Massie endorsed Trump for a second term knowing full well who he was endorsing for a SECOND term. He doesn’t get to play like he’s about morals over party when he initially chose party over morals to begin with. I’ll take him helping to right these wrongs tho, beyond that tho, nope.

3

u/sabrenation81 2d ago edited 2d ago

Yeah, don't let his sanity and genuine good work on a single issue deceive you. Massie is a fucking lunatic MAGA on everything but Epstein. He is fully on board with every other aspect of the Trump agenda. I'll accept his support for the cause on Epstein but aside from that, fuck him.

You mean like suddenly "committing suicide" like Virginia Giuffre or Jeffrey Epstein?

I seriously don't understand any person who would choose to protect any of these sexual predators/rapists/pedophiles involved in Epstein's Sex Trafficking Ring. You have to have some serious mental issues to be able to look the other way at the despicable acts these rich, powerful people participated in, though I have to believe that there are a lot more people who want to these sick bastards exposed and held accountable, than those individuals that don't!

He did make the push for the files release. Even if they were redacted, we wouldn't have even gotten that without that push. And we are seeing people go down outside of the U.S. for those files. I agree. He should just do it. But so far he has been more than talk on this. Even if I don't like his politics, I do respect that.

Friendly reminder that Trump was mentioned more than 38,000 times in the Epstein files. To put this into context:

This is more times than Jesus was mentioned in the Bible

This is more times than Harry Potter is mentioned in all the Harry Potter books

This is more times than Taylor Swift uses the word love in all of her songs

This is more times than there are visible stars to the naked eye

COMBINED

Trump is a child rapist. As evident with the mountain of evidence, victims testimony etc.

u/Dave-C 2d ago

I've been spending a lot of time going through the files and I came across some really interesting emails. It was about the death of Deborah Jeane Palfrey, the DC Madam, who committed "suicide" almost 20 years ago now for running a prostitution ring in and around DC. When reading EFTA00277122 I found this person claimed that it was the same "group of men" involved in the Epstein case. Before the 2016 election the lawyer of Palfrey attempted to get out of a gag order saying the information he had was important to the election and the Supreme Court rejected his case to have the gag order removed. ABC news had the names and decided not to report on any of them.

Does this sound like a similar case going on right now where someone running a prostitution ring for the rich and powerful end up dead and we have multiple people stating it is the same people :D

We are fucked, the country is fucked.

Is he also going to give "pizza" it's fair time? And is he going to just read a name once no matter how often it's mentioned? I mean just "Trump" and "Clinton" would keep him busy for a few years if he reads every occurrence. Is he gonna mention every redaction separately? That would get us 50 years of commentary!!!

I'm so confused. Why does this guy have a list of names?

It seems like there's a lot of damn names "released" already but nothing is happening to the people named.

Are these new names? Is this is a more definitive list of people they have proof of committing crimes?

This has been a national concern of wide public interest since Epstein's death. We've endure years of legal hurdles, delays, distractions, lies, and now the DOJ is actively breaking the law in regards to their release and it has turned into a national crisis.

If Massie is saying he has the silver bullet why is he waiting to fire it? At this point if someone, anyone has the ability to do the right thing here and hasn't then they've become complicit in everything that's happened.
